"It was a super moment for me and our team" - Fazel Atrachali on stunning Super Raid during tie-breaker against Haryana Steelers in Pro Kabaddi 2025

Veteran defender Fazel Atrachali lit up the mat with a special performance in his 200th Pro Kabaddi match on Tuesday, October 07. The Dabang Delhi defender put in a stunning Super Raid during the tie-breaker. His three-point raid helped Delhi beat Haryana 9-3 after the game was tied initially.

Fazel Arachali ensured his 200th Pro Kabaddi outing was a special one. He not only delivered a match-winning Super Raid but also picked up four tackle points earlier.

The Iranian star made his debut in the league in Season 2 with U Mumba. He represented several teams such as Patna Pirates, Gujarat Giants, Puneri Paltan, and Bengal Warriorz. Fazel Atrachali is the most successful defender in the history of the league with a record 583 tackle points.

Reflecting on his journey so far and the sensational Super Raid against Haryana, he said:

"I am happy. It has been a long journey from season 2 to now. I have had so many good days and bad days. But it is good that we won the match. This match was just like another match, not anything special. Haryana is also like any other team for us, not special. We are happy to get two more points. If you get a Super Raid in the five raids you know the match is finished. It was a super moment for me and our team." (via post-match press conference)

Dabang Delhi have been unstoppable this season. They registered their fifth consecutive win. Delhi are at the top of the table with 22 points.
